sawre salone aaye Hemant & Lata - Sanware Saloni Aayi Din Bahar Ke - Ek Hi Rasta [1956]







Ek Hi Rasta" [1956] is an Indian Hindi film directed by B.R. Chopra. Starring Ashok Kumar, Meena Kumari and Sunil Dutt. Music is by Hemanta Mukherjee as Hemant Kumar.....

Hemanta Kumar Mukhopadhyay (Bangla:Hemonto Kumar Mukhopaddhae) also known as Hemanta Mukherjee (June 16, 1920 - September 26, 1989) was an Indian singer, composer and producer. He sang in Hindi films under the name Hemant Kumar.

....In September 1989, Hemanta travelled to Dhaka, Bangladesh to receive the Michael Madhusudan Award. He performed a concert in Dhaka as well. Immediately after returning from this trip, Hemanta suffered a major cardiac arrest on September 26th and breathed his last at 11:15 pm in a nursing home in South Calcutta. Interestingly, even 15 years after Hemanta's death, Gramophone Company of India releases at least one album by Hemanta every year, repackaging his older songs, because of the commercial viability of his songs. Hemanta's legacy still lives on through the numerous songs he has recorded, music he has composed and through many male singers in Bengal and the rest of India who continue to imitate his singing style...
